New Items Would You Take to a Party

[pamperedtara]

I believe the holders are a BIG waste and won't sell. I see these being discontinued in the near future.

The only few spring items I'm excited about are the collapsable bowl, the new grilling cook book, seasonings, and the scrapers.

I already have several orders waiting to go in on the party sticks. People with pools & those who entertain outdoors are loving these! Guess it depends on where you live. We are very rural, so lots of outdoor entertainment during the warm months, tailgating during football, and endless baseball tournaments during spring/summer!

So far, the party sticks have been a HUGE hit when I taken them to shows! I had a girl who decided she wanted a PC Bridal Shower, because of all of the Outdoor Entertaining Stuff - and she made a note in big writing on her Wish List that she "really really really wants the party sticks!" At my show last night, 2 women who's families camp together on the weekends were so excited over them - they kept throwing out ideas for using them.

Oh, and I wanted to say that April is usually a pretty tough month for me to book - because of Sprink Break, etc....people think they are just too busy....So I have been bringing the Collapsible Bowl, and the Salad Spinner to shows with me, and telling them that if they book an April Show,and have $400 in sales, they can choose either of these for half-off the 60% off price - so they can choose the bowl for $5, or the Spinner for $10. I don't usually offer incentives - but this one is a win-win - and for a specific month, specific product. I really want to keep the momentum of 8-10 shows a month going - and don't want April to be a stumbling block to earning that trip! Right now, I have 3 shows for April.(I got this idea off from a Booking CD I was listening to)

I'm revamping my showsBringing ONLY the new consultant kit products, and the host special product(s) for the month I want to book - that's it.

Another director in my cluster is doing this with huge success. Makes your job look easier to any potential recruit. Plus, from the DVD that I've been watching - looks like that's all they brought too.

I took the collapsible bowl to my show yesterday (last show for the month), and it was a big hit! In fact, I got 2 April bookings because both women wanted it for only $10.

I need to reduce how much I bring to shows, so am trying to figure this out for Saturday's party. I will bring what i need for the recipe and my TTA with all the tools - and I also plan on bringing the March & April host & guest specials, the new rubs and one of the sheet pans.

I brought the coll. bowl, oven mitt & grill basket on Sunday. The rest I gave them a sneak peak of my CN - good recruiting tool too. Everyone loves the bowl - also works as a "hat" after many margarita's - they all loved that idea!!I too only bring what I need for a show and a few extra's. I like the idea that it shows how easy it is... not too much stuff.
